Commissioner Service for Non-Traditional or Faith-Based Units*

* Commissioner Service for Non-Traditional or Faith-Based Units is being offered for the first time this year. This conference has been one of the most requested in the past several years. Some of the topics in the conference outline include:

Introduction to non-traditional units and multicultural markets and how to provide commissioner service to rural, urban, Learning for Life, Asian, Hispanic, African American, Native American, single-parent, and home-schooled youth units

Introduction to various faith-based units and how to provide commissioner service to Christian, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jewish, Islamic, and Buddhist units and the importance of faith-based units

An overview of resources available to support these types of units

Recognitions for support of non-traditional units, which include the William D. Boyce New-Unit Organizer Award, the Founders Bar, the Community Organization Award, the Asian American Spirit Award, and the Shofar Award

Rather than two faculty members, this conference will have facilitators and feature guest speakers who have knowledge in each of these areas.
